This is a new topic for Lore Questions because the old one was about 26 pages. The format is roughly the same, but some guidelines;

1) Try and format your questions appropriately. As in, make it easy to read and answer.
2) Try and limit the number of questions you ask per thread. I don't mind answering them, but don't get crazy and ask me 20 things, especially if they require detailed answers.
3) Try to avoid asking extremely specific questions, such as 'Did anyone ever die of food poisoning in Cellsvich?'. Answering these is difficult, because not everything is set in stone, so giving a definitive answer on it not only restricts me in the future, but it might influence other players' character concepts that involve it.

That said, if you have any questions, you can post them in this thread! I will post answers at the end of the month/start of the next one.

Thanks! (And yes, if you had questions from the previous topic that I didn't answer before I closed it, you can post them here, but remember the formatting guideline.)

[Character name here] uses Restrain (Staff) on !


That's the message I get when I use my staff on an enemy. It doesn't display their name, just a blank space. I'm not sure if it works on any other staves.

Pretty minor, but this Lore Blurb cuts off at protectio...n.

Apparently you can practically kill Seto in the story battle by inflicting him with Interference and using Llunel's Deacy, which makes him take 30k damage. Is that intentional, a little easter egg, or..?

Hello hello ._.

So, I'm completely new to the game, but it seems to be very cool and interesting in its lore. I really want to play it, but I've got a question that may come out as very noob-ish too, so I'm already sorry .-.

I see that most people've got their description images and character's icon perfectly matched, and I felt very bad for not having the same XD

So I wanted to know like... Does everybody draw themselves their description images or do they ask somebody else to draw them or anything like that?

I'm sorry again, for this may be an extremely noob question. :|

Two questions--

1. Are prescribed potions meant to use the health of the user, rather than the one actually receiving the potion?

2. Is being able to use a potion on someone with Potion Sickness intended? As it stands, the debuff only locks potion use on the person /with/ the debuff, and nothing more, so they can be potion'd again while still having the debuff.

This is one in what will be a long line of player surveys regarding various aspects of the game. Since I am always looking to improve the experience for as many people as possible, this requires gathering feedback, hence these polls. Tell your wife, tell your kids, tell your friends (if they play the game, anyway) to vote. Based on the feedback I gather, I may make adjustments to the game balance/etc. However, nothing is guaranteed, so please keep that in mind.

If you'd like to post an opinion with your vote, you can do so (although it is not necessary), but please follow these guidelines;

1) Do not response to other users' opinions in this thread. I'm not looking for debates, just data.
2) Please include the way you voted for clarity.
3) Please provide your opinion on what would be a more ideal result.
4) Don't go crazy. I'm not going to delete any classes or completely retool them, for example. I'm not going to flip the rug on the entire battle system, either. Don't even suggest it.
5) Keep your opinion relevant to the topic. Don't go on a rant, like 'whaddafrick battle too fast because kenvoker too strong, nerf please'. You can express a similar opinion, but it should be worded more appropriately, like 'Players do too much damage, resulting in battles that feel too quick, and lengthening the battles would make them more enjoyable.' I don't want to hear what you hate, I want to hear what would make things better for you.

Thank you for your participation.

The Topic: Weapon Variety

This topic is for discussing weapon variety in SL2. Do you feel the weapon variety is noticeable when using weapons of different types? Should there be a greater difference between them (whether mechanically or otherwise)? Etc. You can select any number of options in the poll, and you can post any opinions you feel are relevant to this discussion below.

The Topic: Most Fun Class

To provide an opposite side to the argument, let's talk about your favorite class; what class do you find yourself having the most fun when playing as, and why (if you feel like elaborating)? What aspects of that class do you think are the most enjoyable? And so on.

The Topic: Least Fun Class

This time, we'll be discussing the class you find the least fun. They can be the least fun for a few reasons, such as not suiting your play style, their play patterns being rather dull or having few variations, and so on. Pick your poll option and expand on your reason why in a post (if you so choose). I also recommend posting what you think they could have added that would make you interested in the class. (I'm not including base classes in this poll for obvious reasons.)
